I'm Asking: What Would Make You Like Your Job More?

I'm Asking: What Would Make You Like Your Job More?

I recently asked if you love your job or just the paycheck and about 60 percent of you said you do it for the cold hard cash. While I understand monetary compensation is often the most weighty factor in job and career selection (we all gotta eat, right!), it can't hurt to strive for a job that is fulfilling financially, intellectually, and emotionally.

More money, as well. I'm paid below the average for my type of position.
I do love my job, though. It's flexible, I'm mostly unsupervised, I'm rarely at an office, and I'm often in very exciting environments with hot doctors/residents/interns. I hated sitting at a computer all day, so I was overjoyed when the bosses gave me a new position.

I am so incredibly thankful the job I have right now is only for the summer. I work for a software company helping them put together content for their user conference in September. I have been here for a month so far and I can count on both hands (and that's it) how many things I have done. The pay is great and the people I work with are wonderful, though.

I love my job so much. I have my own office with amazing views, my colleagues are friendly, helpful, and social, my supervisor is supportive and makes me feel appreciated, the work is important and rewarding, and the benefits are unbelievable.
So OF COURSE this all must come to an end; it's just too good to be true (I work for the Senate, and my Senator is termed out in November :-( ).
There's pretty much no way I'm going to find another job I like as much. But the pay could be better. . .

aside from $$ and a title, i think that having my own office would make me enjoy my job more. being at the level that i'm currently at, i should have my own office but in the era of 'open spaces' i don't and i HATE not having walls and a door.

I'd like to work in politics or for the federal or state government...my resume is being handed to someone who works at the world bank, wouldn't that an amazing job?
I'm an executive assistant right now and its um...not the most interesting of jobs...but it pays the bills right?

Syako- I totally agree. I want more responsibilities and more challenging work. It's not a matter of proving myself, we've just run out of that kind of work for a while. I am so bored I cannot handle it.
And more money. I don't get paid enough.

I would like a promotion and a raise that reflect the additional work I've taken on over the last six months. But every time someone quits, and I get additional work, their position is eliminated due to budget cuts.

I'd like a coworker. I work for a small company (4 people) and I'm the only one that is not family. I'm also the only one under 40. My job is great, and I love working here, but I had more fun when I had another 20-something around. He had to quit when he moved to get his Masters degree in another state, and they never hired a replacement.
Oh, and of course, more money would be nice.
